There might be a second drive, but badly connected/wired in so undetectable First, boot from Recovery HD by pressing Cmd-R on startup. There is a second drive that is blank / oddly formatted / undetectableHow can I know if there is a second drive in the Mac mini?Your diskutil list command tells you everything you need to know: there's only one entry that has a "physical" characteristic to it and it's disk0.When you boot into Recovery, there are many RAM disks that get created and in your case they are disk1 through disk19. If you notice on each identifier, it describes it as a "disk image" as in the example below: /dev/disk1 (disk image):1: Apple_HFS OS X Base System 2.0 GB disk1s1What you want to look for is anything that says "internal, physical" because if the seller assured you "there are two hard drives," you would have (in a Mac mini) two identifier with "internal, physical" descriptors like that of disk0: /dev/disk0 (internal, physical):2: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 999.3 GB disk0s23: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3What the seller showed you was a (Bootcamp) partition. When booted, the partitions appear to the OS as their own separate drives. Good things come in mini packages. This mini is packing: 2.5 GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 or 2.3 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7.You'll have to do this twice as you have two partitions you'd like to merge with another.Now, select Macintosh HD and drag the small circle over to fill up the space left behind by the now nonexistent Drive D/E partitions. This process will delete all the data on the Drive D/E partitions.Select the partition of Drive D/E and press the minus button beneath the pie chart to delete the partition. I'm going to assume you've moved all the data on these drives off, and they are empty now.
